GREEK COUSCOUS SALAD
I'm not sure just where I got this recipe, but I've been fixing it for a long, long time, most often with bulgur wheat instead of the couscous. Prep time does not include setting time in the fridge.

Steps:
- Place sun-dried tomatoes in a large bowl, cover with hot water, and let stand 10-15 minutes or until softened.
- Drain well, and coarsely chop.
- Add couscous, cucumber, radishes, parsley, basil, feta, and pine nuts, and toss lightly to combine.
- In a small bowl, whisk lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Set aside for 5 minutes for flavor to develop.
- Slowly add olive oil while continuing to whisk briskly.
- Pour over couscous mixture, and toss to blend.
- Cover, and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Taste, and adjust seasonings before serving.
- For some reason, this salad dissipates flavors like you wouldnt believe.
- You will probably need more of most dressing ingredients, especially more lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper; but dont add them into the initial dressing mix.
- Add after the dish has set for a while.
- Variation: Replace couscous with coarse bulgur wheat, preferably#3 (very coarse), available at middle-eastern markets and some specialty food stores.
- To prepare, thoroughly rinse 1 cup bulgur in a strainer under running water.
- Place in a medium bowl, cover with very hot tap water, add 1 Tsp salt, mix thoroughly, and set aside for 30 minutes.
- Drain thoroughly, and use as noted above for couscous.

- Prepare the couscous mix according to package instructions making sure to add in the seasoning mix. If you don't use couscous from a package, you'll want to add some of your favorite seasonings because a lot of the flavor in this salad comes from that seasoning.
- While the couscous is cooking, prep the veggies: coarsely chop the cucumber, the peppers, the red onion, and cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the parsley. To take the "bite" out of the raw red onion you can soak it in cold water (or freshly squeezed lemon juice) for about 10 minutes.
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas. If desired, roast them in the oven (see the last paragraph in this post).
- Prepare the dressing by adding all of the dressing ingredients to a mason jar. (I add about 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, but add to your personal preference). Seal the jar and shake until combined.
